The irresponsible Black man-it’s a dishonest stereotype that haunts fathers to this day. In this compilation of stories by Dr. Khalid Akil White, fathers in every kind of parenting situation step up to prove that this image of Black Fatherhood is false. Instead, White provides portraits of loving, present fathers who maintain their dignity in a culture that often disrespects and disregards their parental standing. 
Fatherhood isn’t just the triumph men feel seeing their children happy and safe-it’s about the trials and tribulations they must go through to ensure their children remain that way. These are stories of the brave men who stepped up and created a better world for their sons and daughters. From the stresses of single parenthood to the joy of being a child’s “superhero,” these men have a frank discussion about the expectations, responsibilities, and rewards of Fatherhood.
